101 Hudson Street, Office skyscraper in Exchange Place, Jersey City, United States.
101 Hudson Street is a 42-story glass and steel office tower located along the Hudson River waterfront in Jersey City, New Jersey. The building stands out in the local skyline and sits close to major transit connections linking the area to Manhattan.
The building was completed in 1992, a period when Jersey City was actively developing its waterfront to attract businesses from Manhattan. It held the rank of New Jersey's second tallest structure for over a decade before another tower took that position in 2004.
101 Hudson Street sits at the center of Jersey City's financial district, which grew along the Hudson River waterfront over the past few decades. Walking around the building, you notice the steady flow of office workers and the mix of cafes and services that have opened to serve them.
The tower is easy to reach by public transit, with several rail and ferry connections nearby that link Jersey City to Manhattan. As it is a private office building, access inside is limited to employees and guests with appointments.
The roof of the building serves as a nesting site for Peregrine Falcons, which are monitored by New Jersey state authorities using cameras installed on the structure. These birds naturally nest on cliff faces, and tall urban towers turn out to offer a similar environment.
